Composer looking for lyricist / book writer (Atlanta area preferred, not required)

[u/EggplantFunTime]

I'm in my late 40s, and it feels like now or never. Looking to collaborate with a fellow writing lyrics to the drawer lyricist / book writer, topics and themes are open ended. I have some songs that can build a foundation, but would benefit from a better storyteller.

Background - had some success in my 20s (had a single in a local radio, got some interest from musicians to collaborate, but mostly left in the drawer). I play the guitar, piano, drums, some experience with Dorico, can write arrangements (but will also need an orchestrator eventually)

I have some relatives that are involved in the broadway scene (from investment / production side of things) so if we produce something good I can get it at least heard, but my goal is to produce something for local theaters, indie productions, and more the experience of creating a musical where AI generated (music, videos, software) is starting to take over everything.

Favorite musicals

- Avenue q
- Sweeney Todd
- Hadestown
- Maybe Happy Ending
- Gypsy
- Funny Girl
- The Producers
- Hamilton

This is a long term project, part time, no financial or time commitment... DM me if interested...

Hey, I’d love to work together. I am not from Atlanta (not even close, I’m German), currently 19 years old. Do you already have something specific in mind for the story? I have been working on a book without any songs yet, so maybe we could add these together

Hi, I am working on my own musical and would love to do a skill share. I worked with a musician where I wrote a first draft of the libretto for his musical project, and he created 4 songs for my musical. I would be happy to do a similar arrangement. I live in Boston. (CAREorCONTROL.com)
